Loyola University Chicago's team chaplain Sister Jean Dolores Schmidt continues to become a national sensation.

In just over 40 hours, more than 3,500 Sister Jean bobbleheads were sold, according to the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum.

The sales broke the previous record set by the Clemson National Championship bobblehead.

The bobbleheads cost $25 each plus a flat rate shipping charge of $8 per order and are expected to arrive in June. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of each bobblehead benefit the Loyola Athletic Fund and the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

On Saturday, the Ramblers defeated Kansas State to secure a spot in the Final Four, which kicks off in San Antonio later this week.
